The F. Lammot Belin Arts Scholarship

The F. Lammot Belin Arts Scholarship was established in 1964 by Captain Peter Belin in honor of his father, Ambassador F.

Since that time, the scholarship has been awarded to over 50 artists in the fine arts, performing arts and literature. The 2023 Scholarship recipient is writer Dr. Margot Douaihy. Dr. Douaihy is a Scranton native and author of three poetry collections and the novel Scorched Grace, the inaugural title of Gillian Flynn Books.

Margot was named the Best Author of 2023 by Boston magazine. Applications for the 2024 season are currently being accepted.
